Gov. Andrew Cuomo this morning will tour flood-ravaged Prattsville, Greene County, with FEMA Administrator W. Craig Fugate and U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano at the site of one of the worst storm-ravaged towns in the state.

You can watch the media briefing live below, provided by Gannett’s WGRZ in Buffalo. It was initially supposed to start at 11 a.m., but FEMA now says it will start at 11:50 a.m.

Heavy rains from Tropical Storm Irene essentially wiped out Prattsville on Sunday. It was one of at least four communities in the Catskills that was under water because of the storm, Cuomo said.

Meanwhile, parts of the state Thruway impacted by the storm were reopened today. A long stretch eastbound between Syracuse and Amsterdam had been closed for days because of flooding.

Power outages statewide had been reduced this morning to nearly 329,000, down from nearly 1 million earlier in the week, Cuomo said.
